Smith & Goodrich miniature OG fusee alarm, 1847-1852.  A 19-inch OG (actually, an OOG) case with walnut and rosewood veneer in excellent condition with a clean finish.  Both glasses appear to be original, with a great period tablet with only minor losses.  The contoured metal dial is original, clean, with a few chips and stains. The hands are replacements.  The 30-hour time, strike, and alarm triple fusee movement is unsigned; it is running and striking on the wire gong.  The alarm was not tested; it strikes on an iron bell mounted above the gong.  The alarm winds on a small fusee spool from the lower middle arbor; I think it is interesting that even the alarm has a fusee.  I guess they wanted a steady ring.  There is a good paper label inside with some staining.  S&G made OG cases in three sizes, 15, 19, and 26 inches; most of the examples you see are the 15-inch sub-miniature OG, which typically contains a fusee time-and-strike movement.  This 19-inch OG (OOG) is less common; AAC sold one in 2021 for $396.  $250–$400.
